	        <title> Could Obama's Apparent Surrender to the Zionist Lobby Turn out to be Good for Justice and Peace?</title> 
	        <description><![CDATA[I’m quite strongly inclined to the view that the answer is “No”, but the question is still worth asking.

	        <description><![CDATA[In life and in business compliance with the law is an important part of one's decision making process. The relationship between law, morality, and individual action essentially defines how society functions. Law and morality are not the same. 

If moral and legislative laws are two different things, then the possibility arises that they can be in conflict. If the moral and the legislative law come into conflict, then you are faced with a choice of which to follow.

	        <description><![CDATA[The Oregon Employment Department has released its projections of employment for 2018. The projections point to modest job growth between 2008 and 2018, although many job openings are expected due to the need to replace workers who leave their current occupations.
 
The department's forecasters expect economic growth to add more than 160,000 jobs, a gain of 9 percent over the decade. This growth is slightly less than the 10 percent gain that occurred between 1998 and 2008 and much slower than in many prior 10-year periods.
